Protecting Stone Slab Product Manufacturers and Sellers from Lawsuits

This act aims to protect manufacturers and sellers of stone slab products, like kitchen countertops, from lawsuits regarding injuries caused by silica dust. These changes mean citizens cannot sue manufacturers for issues arising from improper stone fabrication by third-party companies, potentially impacting product availability and industry stability.
Key points
Manufacturers and sellers of stone slab products will not be held responsible for injuries caused during the fabrication of these products by other companies.
Any pending lawsuits against manufacturers and sellers in such cases will be dismissed.
The goal is to protect the stone industry and ensure consumer access to stone slab products.
